Nintendo said Monday that it sold 1.5 million of its video game consoles during the week of Black Friday.

Between November 21 and November 27, Nintendo sold 900,000 of its Nintendo DS systems and 600,000 Wii consoles, according to internal sales estimates.

"U.S. shoppers bought about 9,000 Nintendo hardware systems nonstop for every hour of every day during the week of Black Friday," Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America president, said in a statement.

Nintendo said its new hardware colors and bundles helped fuel sales. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. game, Nintendo in October released several red Wii and DSi XL bundles, as well as the new Wii Remote Plus.

The red Wii bundle includes a red Wii console, the "Super Mario Bros." Wii game, a red Wii Remote Plus controller, Wii sports, and a red Nunchuck controller for $199.99. The red Nintendo DSi XL bundle, meanwhile, includes a red DSi XL with special artwork, the "Mario Kart" DS video game, three pre-installed titles and built-in software, and a large, red stylus for $179.99.

Nintendo is also offering orange and green Nintendo DSi systems, bundled with the "Mario Party" DS game for $149.99.

Nintendo gaming systems have some competition this holiday season thanks to the Microsoft Kinect. The motion-controlled device for the Xbox 360 is proving to be one of the season's must-have gadgets.
